..........Spirulina's
Nutritional Benefits
This microalgae is 60% all-vegetable protein, rich in beta
carotene, iron,
vitamin B-12 and the rare essential fatty acid, GLA.
It offers a striking profile of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Its
deep green colour comes from its rainbow of natural pigments - chlorophyll
(green), phycocyanin (blue) and carotenoids (orange) - that harvest the sun's
energy. Spirulina is important for anyone wanting additional energy and anti-oxidant
protection or needing supplemental nourishment such as dieters, athletes,
convalescents and the elderly. It is also an important wholefood for anyone
who wants to boost their immune
system. The experience of long time consumers and the scientific evidence
suggest that 3 to 10 grams a day will provide significant health benefits.
Daily use is most beneficial. Tablets are convenient anytime, between, before,
or with meals. Many enjoy mixing Spirulina powder in a green fruit juice smoothie
as an instant breakfast, or a vegetable juice smoothie in the afternoon.
